The track appears on the recent Amnesty International compilation, Chimes of Freedom, which consists of seventy-six Dylan covers to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the human rights organization. "It was a real fun song for us to put together," front man Tim McIlrath tells Rolling Stone. "It was out of the box for Rise Against."

Russell Crowe has pitched his songbook to Canadian band Walk Off The Earth after they create a viral hit with their Gotye and Kimbra cover.

Walk Off The Earth featuring Sarah Blackwood produced and uploaded their version of the Gotye featuring Kimbra song 'Somebody That I Used To Know' and within days had more than 3 million views on YouTube.

Over the weekend Russell Crowe tweeted, 'Check out Walk Off The Earth's cover of Somebody That I Used To Know. Brilliant'.

He then pitched his own songs to the Canadian band. '@WalkOffTheEarth. A revelation. What a collection of voices. Do you write your own songs? Crowe/Doyle Songbook vol iii on i-tunes,' he added.

Gotye and Kimbra both approve of the Walk Off The Earth version. 'I know who to ask for help with acoustic versions of Somebody: Walk Off The Earth. Hilarious and brilliant,' tweeted Gotye on Saturday.

Yesterday Kimbra also commented via Facebook, 'Yes, I agree with you all, this is truly amazing. THAT's team work'.

Watch the Walk Of The Earth and Sarah Blackwood (5 people) perform 'Somebody That I Used To Know' on one guitar:
